Hello and Happy New Year!! Welcome to this week’s harmonica lesson, where I will be showing you how to play Big Walter Horton’s classic tune, Easy. Don’t let its name fool you; this tune is not “Easy” but it is a lot of fun and very satisfying.
You will need a harmonica in the key of Bb, and we will be playing in 2nd position in the key of F major.

Happy new year Tomlin and thanks again for this great lesson (easy) and all the others over the years.
Bb? No one said get a Bb for xmas. 🙁
Tomlin have you recorded a lesson on Vibrato, and if so can you link it please.
Hi! Would you play “Amazing Grace” in B flat and put the notes down. I really would like to learn that tone on B flat. Thanks!
Thanks Tomlin
I’ve been trying to play this one on an A harp, and it just didn’t feel like I was hitting it right.
Hello Tomlin
Happy New Year, a little late for my holiday greetings. Also say that I follow your harmonica course very closely, I like it a lot, later I want to acquire a course and also say that you have a good teaching material, congratulations

Hi David – maybe next Christmas 😉
I’ve not done a vibrato lesson yet but I will do. In the mean time here is a good vibrato lesson – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FJYGKi-weo&t=64s
Hi Kevin, I am planning a lesson on Amazing Grace in the not too distant future. It will be on a C harmonica but you will easily be able to transpose to Bb.
Thanks Tomlin for replying to my text and thanks to the upmost for teaching me how to play this harp. I’m 52 yrs old and I’ve played trumpet all of my life. My dad played the harp and he died when I was 10 yrs old. I found one of his harp years ago but I never learned because the trumpet paid my way through college. Now that I’m a retired New Orleans police officer who was injured ( shot in the head ) during hurricane Katrina, I have nothing but time to learn how to play the harp. Thanks Tomlin!!
